Struts problem

Hi Guyz....

I use a abstract class in which i extend the action form just for overriding the validate method namely

import org.apache.struts.action.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public abstract class Base_Form extends ActionForm{
public abstract ActionErrors SSValidate(ActionMapping mapping,HttpServletRequest request);
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,HttpServletRequest request){
return SSValidate(mapping,request);
}
}

And My Action Form is

import org.apache.struts.action.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class Logger_Form extends Base_Form{

private String textBox1 = "";
private String textBox2 = "";

public ActionErrors SSValidate(ActionMapping mapping,HttpServletRequest request){
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if(textBox1.trim().equalsIgnoreCase("")){
errors.add("textbox1",new ActionError("error.textbox1"));
return errors;
}
if(textBox2.trim().equalsIgnoreCase("")){
errors.add("textbox2",new ActionError("error.textbox2"));
return errors;
}
return null;
}

/**
* Getter for property textBox1.
* @return Value of property textBox1.
*/
public java.lang.String getTextBox1() {
return textBox1;
}

/**
* Setter for property textBox1.
* @param textBox1 New value of property textBox1.
*/
public void setTextBox1(java.lang.String textBox1) {
this.textBox1 = textBox1;
}

/**
* Getter for property textBox2.
* @return Value of property textBox2.
*/
public java.lang.String getTextBox2() {
return textBox2;
}

/**
* Setter for property textBox2.
* @param textBox2 New value of property textBox2.
*/
public void setTextBox2(java.lang.String textBox2) {
this.textBox2 = textBox2;
}

}

when i set the value of the validate attribute of struts-config to false am getting a error No action instance for path /.... could be created

what is happening here?

I am not sure where or if the form code that you included fits onto this error message. When do you get this message? Maybe posting your <html:form> code or the entries from your struts-config file would shed some light on the problem.

<html:form action="LoggerTest">
<table>
<html:errors/>
<tr>
<td>
<html:text property="textBox1"/>
</td>
<td>
<html:text property="textBox2"/>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan='2' align='center'>
<html:submit/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html:form>

And one more clarification

<html:select property="selectedValue">
<html

ptions collection="collectedValues" labelProperty="selectedLabel" property="selectedValue"/>
</html:select>

the "collectedValues" which i mentioned above is a session variable which is populated in action.when i do that i get a error "cannot find bean under name collectedValues" if i cut that from my jsp and refresh the page i get the two textboxes and if i supply some values to the textboxes and then paste that in my jsp ... am getting the combo populated....

is there anyway that i validate combo in ActionForm

Rick: I was out of town for a bit and did not catch your response. Are you still working on this issue? I am a bit fuzzy on what your current errors are. I take it that you are pretty new to Struts.

BTW, I like to use the html

ptionsCollection tag instead of the html

ptions tag...mostly because the attributes are more consistent with the other html tags.
